Question
I would love to know if there is any type of surgery that can reduce the size of my breasts without submitting to a full breast reduction! I am not considered a candidate by my Insurance Company for the Breast Reduction surgery but it is something that has been an issue for me personally. As an athlete, I am constantly binding them down (wear 2 heavy sport bras!) and would love to go down 1 size. I am medium build.

Answer
Depending on the density of your breasts (which may be evaluated during a consultation) you may be a perfect candidate for Liposuction of the Breasts. This is a typically outpatient procedure that has a much easier recovery time and generally less scarring as well. I perform cosmetic Breast Reduction (both traditional and Liposuction of the Breasts) and both surgeries usually offer the patient several benefits in addition to a physically desired outcome; the decrease in breast volume can help ease back strain and increase comfort level for athletes! Unfortunately, most insurance companies generally require evidence of medical dysfunction in order to cover this surgery but it can be well worth proceeding on one’s own when and if one is ready!

Question:
Does fat return to other areas of the body after a CoolSculpting treatment?

Answer:
Fat gain after CoolSculpting can occur but not to treated area.
The fat cells that get “crystallized” with Coolsculpting die and get flushed out of your body and are permanently eliminated. If you gain weight, other fat cells around your body can expand. This expansion is not from the fat cells that were treated. It has been documented that 20 -25% of the fat cells in a treated area are permanently eliminated during a CoolSculpting treatment. Coolsculpting is excellent for reducing a bulge (like a bra line bulge or muffin top) that is diet/exercise resistant. It does not replace diet and exercise but it has helped many men and women achieve their desired shape.

Is the Promotion “The Breast Year Ever” on 97.9 FM legitimate?

Answer:
Yes, it is – Dr. Casas was interviewed by Pete McMurray and Jane Monzures as they discussed saline and silicone breast implants that are being used for Reconstruction/Revision Surgery/ Enhancement & Post Pregnancy Deflation. 97.9 The Loop is funding an opportunity for a woman in need of breast reconstruction/revision surgery/reduction/augmentation for asymmetry or lack of development.
